Scanner dammit!!

Okay my desire to post my own work is growing, however to do which I need a scanner, that I do not possess. I need kind old Sir Nick to drop one down my chimney, or better yet through my letter box, as my house is lacking in any kind of chimney-like portal. Printer, scanner, photocopier in one me thinks.. lets persuade the father, that's where Santa get's his ideas from these days YE?

*in a perfect world there would be an illustration here*




*and here*




*probably here too*




Scanner please x

Antoinette Fleur

She's a French fashion illustrator who uses felt tip coloured pens as her principal medium. Her work is beautiful, and this drawing of Nicole Kidman particularly caught my eye in her series of portraits.  There's an urgency about her sketches, yet they seem so elegant and full of life, due to the rainbow selection of colours I'm sure. It somehow makes the image of the character seem more personal. They remind you how felt tips work, as sometimes they are so easily struck aside as a tool for children. Yet Fleur (such an appropriate name for an artist producing work of this calibre may I add) manages to make it the perfect technique for this style of illustration. 






















Another: Brigitte Bardot
It's a skill nonetheless.

Tough. Beautiful. Polo.

This is such a genius Ad. I love it when they use imagery.

And... oh yeah, I have this car. Ammaright @Ryan?


Take a look at the making of the commercial as well.. at the end of the video select the new film from the selection at the bottom.

Alfie flashback!

Oohh mayyyyn!

A true British Sex God. He is so on my fantasy dinner party guest list. Amaright @Grace?

Flora or Fauna?

Alexander McQueen strikes again. Spring/summer 2011 brings flora and fauna into the spotlight, back from last season and as fresh and spring like than ever. Although this clutch could be taken for a glamorous knuckle duster, the sculpting and detailing is phenomenal, I think Paris is the home for this little, 'skulled', gem.

Your Song John Lewis

The new advert for John Lewis boats the talents of Ellie Goulding, with her cover version of Elton John's 'Your Song'. It's a beautiful rendition and a testament to the original. Her voice fits the melody perfectly, even though she manages to make it her own version so well.

Coincidently the most recent X-Factor show also hosted an Elton John themed evening, where all the contestants sung songs from Mr John's infinite repertoire. At the beginning of the second commercial break of the night, the new Christmas John Lewis advert premièred on ITV.

It's not my favourite advertising of a company in the world, however the featured song makes it seriously special, definitely one to look forward to seeing this holiday.

PEACOCK CELIA DRESS BY MOTEL

£30.00 - TOPSHOP

Okay so it will probably be too short for me, and the back is kind of weird... netting doesn't really do it for me.. period.

However the front panels are gorgeous, and given my love for all things bird-related, not to mention their unique plumage designs, this is definitely a beautiful example of concessions for Toppy.
